62428 - :active not working in content area of text input & textarea

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[Benjamin C. Woolley]

Build ID: 2000120804 on Win98 and 2000112408 on Linux, and many older:

The :hover and :active pseudo-classes will not work in the content area of 
(regular) input and textarea, yet padding and border select them properly.  The 
select, submit and reset inputs are fine in this respect.

I'm not sure what I should see here, but mousing over (hovering) the top of the
field named "Comment" briefly gives it a rose(?) border, like all the other text
areas/buttons on the page. Please tell us what we are supposed to see.
Thank you,
Fabian.

On that page, you should see the rose border while the mouse is over *any* part 
of the inputs, including the content area.  Right now the rose border only 
appears when the mouse is over the padding or border, but not the content 
area.

Also, the borders should inset when the input is active, and focus will swap 
foreground and background colors so the border is already rose.  The rule is 
(input and textarea have the same rule):
input {
	line-height: 1em;
	font-size: .75em;
	padding: .25em 0 0 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, "sans serif";
	color: #ba0063;
	background-color: #eeeeee;
	background-image: none;
	border-width: 2px;
	border-style: outset;
	border-color: #eeeeee;
}
input:hover {border-color: #ba0063;}
input:active {border-style: inset;}
input:focus {
	border-color: #ba0063;
	background-color: #ba0063;
	color: #ffff63;
}


	border-width: 2px;
	border-style: outset;
	border-color: #eeeeee;
}
input:hover {border-color: #ba0063;}
input:active {border-style: inset;}

input:focus {
	border-color: #ba0063;
	background-color: #ba0063;
	color: #ffff63;
}

sorry, ignore the doubled code in the last post.

The :hover part of this report is a dupe of bug 41819.

I'm rewriting summary to avoid duplication.
Old summary: The :hover and :active pseudo-classes will not work in the content
area of (regular) input and textarea.

The :hover part should get fixed when bug 5693 is fixed again.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking 
remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done 
directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the 
shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

active now seems to work in my current build (2001102603/win2k) UNTIL the mouse
is moved.

hmm...  :active works for me.
